    ... and it's harder to tackle overdue accounts when you're really busy.
    I recommend you have a look at FreshBooks as an invoicing solution.
    You can set it to send automated overdue reminders by email - and soon by sms text.
    Presents pretty invoices and some good reports, too.

    I try to get the message out there as early as possible and do a bit of advertising for pruning, lopping, weeding, mulching and garden renovation type work. Is the only way to survive when the lawns stop growing.

    This year if it's slow I'll also hopefully be doing some work with a guy I know who has a commercial cleaning business.

    Good idea is to poison around things that can get damaged like that... A good whippen will break/wear away anything in time.

    Isn't it POME? Prisoner Of Mother England That was our name when we we came out as convicts its ironic that the name has done a reversal along with the meaning.

    actually i believe you will find that POM is actually short for Pommy and D H Lawrence in his 1923 book Kangaroo references pommy as being short for pomegranate as pomegranate which is usually pronounced pommygranate rhymes with immigrant and immigrants from England were known for their round and ruddy checks and overall red [sunburnt ] appearance not unlike pomegranates
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
